PLATT COLLEGE PRESENTS THE TOP 10 STUDENT & ALUMNI DESIGNS FROM May 2015

It’s time for another showcase featuring some of our most popular student designs according to a combination of Instagram likes and comments. If you follow us on Instagram you know that we like to share art, web designs, video production projects, 3D animations, and designs from our talented digital media design students and alumni almost daily! It’s a great way to show off all the hard work our students put into not only their class projects, but any side projects they are working on as well.
You might notice that many of the Star Wars creations we shared for May the 4th showed up in our top spots for last month. You can check out the full collection of artwork in our May the 4th Showcase blog.
If you’re a current student or alumni, be sure to follow us and share your projects using the hashtag #plattcollegesandiego for your chance to be featured and maybe make an appearance in our Top 10!
